That’s the startling claim from the captain of the yacht Natalie Wood was on before she drowned in 1981. Natalie was partying with husband Robert Wagner and Christopher Walken at the time and the original story was she drowned while trying to secure a dinghy. In light of new claims and supporting evidence, officials have reopened the case as a homicide investigation.
In Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendour, Rulli and Splendour Captain Dennis Davern writes Wood, Wagner and Walken were high on Quaaludes and drinking that night. Wagner got angry when he saw Wood and Walken talking alone. He ended up smashing a wine bottle and yelling at Walken, “What do you want to do, f**k my wife? Is that what you want?”
Walken went back to his cabin and Natalie and Robert went back to their state room. The captain then says he heard them arguing, then thumping sounds, then silence. Soon after, Wagner told the captain that “Natalie is missing.” He also alleges Wagner refused to let the Coast Guard be called. Wagner implied Natalie left on a dinghy but that story was always suspicious because Natalie was afraid of the water.
Robert Wagner’s rep has released this statement in response:
“Although no one in the Wagner family has heard from the LA County Sheriff’s department about this matter, they fully support the efforts of the LA County Sheriff’s Dept.”
“[The Wagners] trust they will evaluate whether any new information relating to the death of Natalie Wood Wagner is valid, and that it comes from a credible source or sources other than those simply trying to profit from the 30 year anniversary of her tragic death.” TMZ
In un-related news, Wagner has booked plane tickets to Switzerland. They don’t have any extradition laws, right? Why? Oh… no reason, just curious.
I think he killed her in a jealous drunken/drug induced rage
It sounds to me like they had an argument, she got pissed off, and decided to sit in the dinghy. it sounds sexist but the stereotypical ‘well i’m leaving!” and that was what happened to Natalie Wood IMHO.
Robert Wagner didn’t kill her. Its preposterous.
Not if she was a afraid of water dummy. Wonder why she divorced him thhe first time. Hmmm too posessive.
Its preposterous? I dont think so robert.
i think you did it. Either way it was jealous white man.
He will be snuffed for speaking out. Either that or he will be targeted as the murderer! He already confessed that he lied! Bet drug use or drinking will come out against him.
come on they were just rehearsing for one of walkens new movies that was going to come out and things got out of hand
Every beautiful actress was/is a life support system for a vagina. They f**k their way into jobs and sometimes they can act. She was gorgeous but just another cunt. Look at Grace Kelly…biggest whore in Hollywood and became “royalty” What a joke.
your comment reflects your poor and unhealthy attitude towards women. Did your mother treat you like crap when you were growing up? Is that why you’re so mentally unstable in your thoughts towards women? Get some help – goto therapy, see a psychologist, or even better, get a life.
No thanks. I’ll just go f**k YOUR mother.
You need serious psychological help. You sound like an evil rapist.

Truth…so true!
Its amazing what men force women to do to get ahead in entertainment and business. these are male dominated fields where men dangle the carrot of success and will bash a woman if she opens her legs too much or doesnt open them at all. Fact. There is a rape law in place just for men. How many women rapist do you know. Not molesters..rapist.
Robert Wagner killed Natalie Wood. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to determine that fact. The lead detective reportedly died after reopening the case. I would really like to know how he died. Did Wagner get a little anxious that the truth might come out?
